1998$900newNathanIt's a Limited Edition D25 cherry from 1996, American made. List price was USD 1,400, but I was told that unlike (at the time) Martin guitars, the room to negotiate was very wide. Thus, I picked it up for 900 or thereabouts, in North Carolina.

1974$275.00goodJimI bought my 1974 D25M new with hard case- arch bottom, mahogany top- just sent back to Fender in 2017: neck reset, new frets, new rosewood bridge- Cost from Fender $925 but no charge since they honored the Guild lifetime guarantee/ warranty. There isn’t a mark on the guitar- new condition. I had original receipt from ‘74’. Now who keeps receipts for 43 years?!

A very dependable and rich sounding guitar. Mine is a 1978 D25 which I had a neck reset on recently . Good projection and amazing sustain when tuned to DADGAD. Upgraded the stock strap openbacked tuners but guitar now a keeper. The back is arched on these .
